Frommer's Review

Part of the posh Austin Center office and retail complex, the Omni's spectacular 200-foot rise of sun-struck glass and steel leaves you feeling simultaneously dwarfed and exhilarated. Rooms are far less overwhelming -- they're not especially large, and ceilings tend to be low. But they're comfortable enough and well equipped. If you need to hole up for a while and your company is footing the bill, your best bet is one of the condominium rooms -- studio efficiencies with full kitchens, walk-in closets, and jetted tubs. If you're here on vacation, you're not going to be spending that much time indoors, what with the hotel's proximity to all the downtown sights, but the Omni's rooftop pool, sun deck, and Jacuzzi (with terrific city views) are an inducement to lounge around. The hotel's Get Fit program gives you incentive to exercise, offering free fitness kits and healthy snacks; for $25, a treadmill will be brought to your room (inducement to leave or stay? Only you can say . . . ).

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; heated outdoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; car-rental desk; business center; secretarial services; Wi-Fi in public areas; shopping arcade; salon; room service; dry cleaning; club-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
